Liverpool FC Fantasy Manager 15 Guide

Liverpool FC Fantasy Manager is a game in which you can manage all aspects of a football club and demonstrate everything you know about football.

1.2 First steps

Once signed into the game, the Board of Directors of your team provides you with your first necessary resources: cash, coins and a player roster.

As of that moment, the destiny of your team is in your hands.

NOTE: If you participated in the previous version of Fantasy Manager, you will get extra players, cash and coins at the start of this season.

1.3 Players

The players are the most important part of your team. Take care about them and line up the best starting 11 at any moment.

The feature that makes Liverpool FC Fantasy Manager a unique game is that players' skills in the game depends on their performance in the real life (Fantasy Points).

Real life competitions are taken into account for the update of the players' fantasy points. These are the national league competitions in which the players are performing. The competitions that are not taken into account are the Cup competitions (Copa del Rey, FA Cup, Coppa Italia, etc.) or other types of national competitions which are not part of the league.

The other competitions that are taken into account for the update of fantasy points are those in the Uefa Champions League, Uefa Europa League and Copa Libertadores.

It is possible that on special occasions (World Cup, Euro Cup, etc.) fantasy points will be updated according to the results in these competitions. In this case, the users will be informed in advance.

In the event that a real life match results in a draw and, successively in penalty kicks, the points will be updated considering only the draw. The penalty rounds will not count in the fantasy points updates.

In the event that a franchisee club (teams whose players have a photo in the game) signs a player who, at the time, is not included in the game, the player will be added to the appropriate team and assigned an approximate value (Fantasy points) according to their value in real life.

When a player, who belongs to a team which is present in the game, is traded to another team which is not in the game, said player will be in the market with NO TEAM and his fantasy points will no longer update. If this player already has a photo, it will be removed and he will be be left in gray.

1.4 What are Fantasy Points?

Fantasy Points are the skill points that any player receives after each game played in the real life.

The statistics taken into account are as follows:

Game played (starter or substitute)
Win, loss or draw
Goal scored
Receive 0 goals
Receive 3+ goals
The sum of all statistics give your players Fantasy Points in the game. These Fantasy Points are maintained until their team plays the next match.

The Fantasy Points are updated at 12:00 (GMT+1) the day after the match is played (from Monday to Friday)

NOTE: You will need to keep in mind that if the match is an international competition (Champions, Europa League or Copa Libertadores), these points will be increased. For more information, you can check out the section "More -> Fantasy Points".

The total sum of the PLAYER VALUE of the top 11 players in your lineup will make up your TEAM VALUE.

2. HOME / COMPETITION
2.1 Play game

The fastest way to gain experience is by playing games. You use 10 energy points for each challenge launched to other managers and your starting players lose 5 points of their physical condition.

The Team Value is an important value that influences the result of the matches.

For each winning challenge launched by you, you take money from your rival (up to a maximum of 100.000 depending on the total budget he has in that moment) and you also gain experience points.

If the match results in a draw, you will not win any money and you gain less points of experience.

If the match results in a loss, you don't win neither money nor experience, but you will lose a portion of your available cash.

2.2 Free Agents

Perhaps this is the most important aspect of the game. Keep checking back to the Free Agents list as you can always find players on sale.

Auctions

There are 20 players in the auction at all times. The starting price for all auctions is 40% of the player's market value.

The fee of each bid is 1 coin. When another manager exceeds your bid, you will receive the cash you spent to bid on the player back into your account

When the auction countdown ends, the manager who has the highest bid at that moment will win the player.

If you want to have the player at all cost, you can use the "Sign Now" option and the player will immediately join your team.

Limited Editions

From time to time some players are sold as limited edition. These players will be available for a limited time or with limited units.

Limited edition players are usually the best of the day so they usually have high skill score. They will help your team significantly!

Limited edition players also always have a lower price! Pay attention and make the most of these bargains!

Release players

Your team can have a maximum of 30 players in your roster. If you reach this limit and you want to sign new players, you can release some players in order to make room for the new ones.

You can do it in the section "More -> Team Info". Releasing a player does not penalize your team in any way.

2.3 League

The league is the authentic competition of the game. Once your team reaches level 7, you will join the Fantasy Manager League.

Your goal is to reach the 1st division, where the best Liverpool FC Fantasy Manager managers play.

Your team will play 1 match every 8 hours. These matches are played automatically. This way you won't use up any of your energy on them.

Your role is to get your team ready so that, when it's time to play, you have the best TEAM VALUE possible.

[COMING SOON] You will begin competing in the lowest division, but if you feel that you're able to compete with the best from the first moment, keep your eyes open because once a league has ended, you can purchase a vacancy spot for higher divisions.

The League prizes depend on which division you are in. The higher the division, the better the prizes.

Remember that you have 16 hours before the end of the next season (00h-16h +GMT) to purchase vacancies and 1 week to collect the prize you won according to your position in the league.

Any manager who goes 15 days without accessing the game will drop to the 5th division.

*Notice: If, due to technical issues, some of the league matches do not process correctly, those matches will be canceled.

2.4 Tournaments

They are divided into packs and you'll need to complete all tournaments in each pack in order to reach the finals.

The tournaments consist of a series of matches that you must win in order to finish within the top 3 positions. If you can do it, you will be able to join the next tournament.

A good manager needs to be surrounded by efficient employees in order to lead the team well. The first employee that you have is the Assistant Coach.

This employee allows you to train and improve more players at the same time. Furthermore, when you hire a better Assistant Coach, you'll be able to increase your players to higher levels.

The bank is the best place to keep your money safe. In challenges, other managers can take a portion of your cash after defeating your team. The purpose of the bank is to minimize these losses

In the bank you will be able to do the following:

Deposit cash: This operation charges a 10% commission on the amount deposited.
Withdraw cash: This operation does not charge any commission.
Remember that the bank has limited storage so manage your cash well both inside and outside of the bank. Avoid leaving large amounts of money outside of the bank because this may attract other managers who'll want to challenge you and take part of your money.

Get as many fans as possible. You can do this in the Franchise section by sending invitations with your fan code to your Facebook friends.

You earn 100,000 cash for each fan added to your team. Also, you can get special prizes when you get a certain amount:

Power ups can improve the Player Value of your players. Some power ups only affect certain positions, such as goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders or forwards, and some affect the entire team.

Each power up has a certain quantity (number of matches), which will decrease after each regular match, tournament or league match played. This number does not decrease if other managers challenges you.

You can buy more of each power up (available for more matches) whenever you want in the store. When the power ups run out (no longer available), they will be removed from your team info and they will no longer provide any bonus to your players.
